This study employed the theory of planned behavior as a framework for identifying college students’ current perceptions and needs for mobile learning. The use of mobile devices continues to evolve, and many educators are eager to explore the potential of these devices to enhance student-centered learning by facilitating anytime/anywhere collaboration and communication. Self-reported data from 2...

The effective training of users is a key factor of the success of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system projects. This need for ERP system training is exacerbated by a demand for quality ERP consultants which is evident in Europe and in African countries, particularly in South Africa where science and technology education has been identified as a national priority. However, the high costs o...

The paper analyses the security issues related to m-learning applications. The collaborative systems are classified, emphasizing on collaborative systems from the mobile learning field. The security of informatics applications is analyzed inside an m-learning system in order to reveal vulnerabilities of different applications. M-learning applications are tested in order to discover possible sec...

The use of mobile devices and Location-based Systems (LBS) enables technicians and practitioners to rethink learning, teaching and assessment strategies. The “Effective assessment in digital age” report claimed that technology has to be used to create authentic assessment (JISC, 2010). This authentic means that learners should be able to demonstrate and practice their skills like in real life t...

Mobile Learning (m-learning) is quickly spreading in many regions of the world. However, research addressing the driving factors for m-learning adoption is lacking. This study proposes a revised TAM by integrating perceived long-term usefulness and personal innovativeness. The adoption model was found to explain 60.8 percent of m-learning intentions based on 209 completed questionnaires. Percei...

The advances in mobile technologies predispose the support of learners’ and teachers’ activities on the move. As the nowadays’ infrastructure still does not provide cheap ‘always on’ connection at every place and every moment, a mobile learning system should provide also support for offline usage of learning material. The process of automatically selecting and pre-fetching content to be used du...

Mobile Learning (M-Learning) is an electronic learning (E-learning) using mobile devices and wireless computing technology as a communication media to make learning ubiquitous and personalize. The objective of this paper is to present the design and development of a platform independent mobile learning tool (M-LT) for Structured Programming course in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) as a cas...
